Cyntoia Brown Early life

Cyntoia Brown was born Tennessee, U.S. to parents Georgina Mitchell. Her father is unknown. Mitchell drank alcohol during her pregnancy, which Brown’s defense attorneys would later claim to have caused her to have been born with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and, after Brown was born, Mitchell began to use crack cocaine.

Her mother was, unfortunately, unable to care for her infant daughter, and she placed the child up for adoption with Ellenette Brown, also known as Ellenette Washington. Although Washington tried to provide a stable home for Cyntoia, she ran away from home in 2004, then 16 years old. She began associating with a man named Garion McGlothen Jarvis, also known by his street name Kut-Throat or simply Kut, who would become her pimp and force her into sex-trafficking. As the two were homeless, they took up residence at an InTown Suites, with Brown supporting the two of them through involuntary prostitution. During this time, McGlothen reportedly threatened, beat, and raped Brown on multiple occasions.

Brown agreed to have sex with Allen for the price of US$150. The two ordered dinner and Allen drove to his home on Mossdale Road. At some point during the evening, while Allen was sleeping, Brown shot Allen in the back of the head with a .40-caliber handgun she carried on her person and stole from Allen’s residence US$172 in cash, several firearms, and a vehicle, a Ford F150. She then drove Allen’s vehicle to InTowne Suites, to meet her pimp.
